I don't see what I said that may have made me seem arrogant here, I just wrote my opinion about non-CAI intakes on this car. I think power on this car is HUGELY affected by temperatures, intake temps included. Not because the car is unsafe with hotter air, but because the ECU has been programed to keep a wide margin of safety when higher temps are detected.

If the R2C produces good results, then awesome, add it to the list of good intakes for the car, I dont see why we have to do this on every damn thread..can't say anything anymore without someone getting offended.
It was this post that got me going:

I'm not offended at all, in fact not much offends me. That said, I think since you know nothing about them calling them a waste of time is a bit premature. That's all, nothing personal RCZ, I know you've been very helpful here.

Besides these threads would be boring without some give and take.
